Queues are often used to simulate situations where people have to wait in line. One scenario we can simulate with a queue is the annual Single’s Night dance at the Elks Lodge. Men and women enter the lodge and stand in line. The dance floor is quite small and there is room for only three couples at a time. As there is room on the dance floor, dance partners are chosen by taking the first man and woman in line. These couples are taken out of the queue and the next set of men and women are moved to the front of the queue. As this action takes place, the program announces the first set of dance partners and who the next people are in line. If there is not a complete couple, the next person in line is announced. If no one is left in line, this fact is displayed. First, let’s look at the data we use for the simulation: F Jennifer Ingram M Frank Opitz M Terrill Beckerman M Mike Dahly F Beata Lovelace M Raymond Williams F Shirley Yaw M Don Gundolf F Bernica Tackett M David Durr M Mike McMillan F Nikki Feldman We use a structure to represent each dancer. Two simple String class methods (Chars and Substring) are used to build a dancer
